Editors Review:

All the enhanced features that they add are great, but just a simple Hold temperature would be greatly appreciated. I don’t understand why that it don’t have it. All of the other electronic thermostats that I have ever had has had it. I probably don’t need it a lot but there are times I do. I don’t want to fool around with the schedule then having to put it back to normal. Please add it. I’m sure there are people who don’t buy it because of this. It got to be very simple to add.

I am using the Nest thermostat. The geofencing for home/away needs to be adjustable. I work about a block and a half away from home and can’t have my phone help with home/away because it thinks I’m home. Also, you can only add full access accounts. I have kids with phones that I wish I could add for the home/away features, but they sure don’t need full access to settings and what not. Both of these issues practically render home/away assist completely useless.
